At Fraunhofer IIS in Dresden, we explore how real wireless conditions can be specifically modeled with the help of specialist analysis systems and stress tests. This allows companies to evaluate the robustness of their wireless-networked products and applications in realistic conditions prior to use, to identify potential weaknesses, and improve the reliability of their IoT systems. Our video provides an insight into this research at Fraunhofer IIS.

Not all production tasks can be solved with classical robotics. When processes, positions, or requirements change, there is a need for flexible systems. At “all about automation” in Chemnitz, it became clear how AI, sensor technology, and adaptive robotics are creating new opportunities in this area – and what questions are yet to be answered.

In a loading test on the Budapester Strasse bridge in Dresden, non-contact measurements can be taken on the millimeter and even sub-millimeter scale using radar sensor technology originally developed for cars. These measurements provide valuable insights into the behavior of bridges and demonstrate the future potential of radar-based techniques for structural monitoring.
